Working with Society
IMCTS offers knowledge-based contributions to regions around Hokkaido by cooperating with private companies and local governmental bodies to offer practical education programs, as well as through regional cooperation agreements with industry and governmental bodies. To date, we have offered practical education in collaboration with companies throughout Hokkaido such as JR Hokkaido and JTB Hokkaido, and local governments of Noboribetsu, Otaru, Nakashibetsu, Biei, Ikeda, and Niki. These have provided learning opportunities helped to offer solutions to real local problems in cooperation with the communities. IMCTS is also engaged in a wide range of other activities to further work with and contribute to society.
